IC Caboose #9914 - Illinois Central |
| Description: |
According to the Hoosier Valley RR Museum webpage, IC #9914 is one of the 9900-series cabooses built for the IC. It later became Chicago & ndiana no. 100 and a caboose for the Tippecanoe Railroad (un-numbered). The caboose was burned out on the inside and was later renovated by the museum as a display car, becoming HVRM no. 99. In 2013, the caboose entered an extensive rehabilitation by museum volunteers. The museum has never been able to determine the elusive original number. HVRM member Dan Siple bought the caboose and donated it to our museum on July 8, 1991. |

| Description: |
This transfer caboose awaiting restoration was originally Monon #81551 and was at one time, part of the Louisville & Nashville roster. Later it landed on the Indiana Transportation Museum roster. With the sudden demise and liquidation of that museum in Noblesville in 2019, the Hoosier Valley RR Museum was lucky enough to save the caboose from destruction. It awaits its restoration day. |
